Decoding Technical Terms
I cannot decipher some of the weather reports because some words/phrases are too weird/mystical. These are some of my “guessterpretations” of the weather jargon.

- Southwest monsoon is intensifying = might rain
- Intertropical convergence zone = might rain
- Cloudy Skies with overcast = might rain
- High humidity with great precipitation = might rain
- Stormy weather = might rain
- Thunder, lightning possible rain clouds = might rain
- Big black rain cloud on top of me = will rain
- Typhoon signal 1 in Metro Manila = no rain in Davao
- Typhoon will hit Davao tonight = Quezon Boulevard Trading will be flooded
- Amihan – Habagat = Windy, Sunny, Choppy Sea
- L.P.A. – Low Pressure Area = Sunny-cloudy-rain
Other obtuse mysterious unfathomable gobbledygook:
- Enhanced iodized, fortified, elixir = mineral water
